VANCOUVER😆 You guys!! So happy to have finally gotten the chance to be there to meet and vibe out with you all! This past 3 weeks of staying there was such an amazing experience!

@scott4syth @carmen4syth super glad to finally meet you guys! Thank you for the being so welcoming and letting me teach at your lovely studio! Super grateful for all the support and good energy you guys have for me, cannot wait to be back!! 🙏🏻❤

Here's my last class in Vancouver... For now 😁
•
Also wanna give a shoutout to @jeromeesplana for helping me get around the community, @kelvin.ktu and @jadrianzvee for takin us out man that shaved ice + sushi was bomb 💣 and @reverezaa7 and @estherrlam for letting us be your roomies for a bit! 🤗 Preciate you all and hope to see you guys real soon 🖤

Today I mailed a letter to my [our] dear sweet Christian. His mother says that he is doing wuite well, but that he could use some words of comfort & encouragement to get him through these last few weeks of basic training. He will graduate next month, and be home late December. If you’re interested in sending him a letter [or something special], feel free to reach out to me & I’ll send you his base camp info. Thank you for always supporting us both. 🖤

Cheers 🇨🇦 to my first class in Vancouver and can’t be more thankful for it being at @thestudionorth. Huge shout out to @scott4syth and @carmen4syth for being the greatest to myself and my team while we were out there. This piece was made a couple months ago, but never had the chance to share it, so here it is! Also, please watch my boy @dezmondx. He inspires me so much with his movement and so glad he got to get down with me while I was there. Can’t wait to be back, VanCity. ❤️ #studionorth #profounddanceco #guestsofhonor

#FrameItFriday (week 35, season 2)
Before I get into this weeks urgent topic I'd like to celebrate this remarkable woman I had the privilege of photographing this past week. (posted with the family's permission) "Baba" is the matriarch of the family whom I had a photo session with.The family gathered to celebrate Baba's sons 70th birthday. Baba is 101 years old and looks so pretty in her beautiful white sari. Don't you think?
I would be so lucky if I made it to that age.....which brings me to the topic of this week's blog.......water safety and photography. You see, quite a few of you commented on the photo my husband took of me in my kayak with my camera perched precariously over the edge of it. I would LOVE to live to a ripe old age and terrorize you all forever so not to worry I am prepared when I go out on the kayak. Here's the scoop, what you didn't see in this shot:
1) I'm posed 15ft max out from the shore and in possibly
10" of water
b)My camera has a tripod mount ring on the lens that I've jammed beneath the lip of the kayak just for this shot and the camera strap is dangling in the seat area and I am sitting on it. Yes, it could still slip out of my hands.
iii) the kit of safety gear that is required by law to be onboard is at my feet inside the kayak
FOUR) my PFD is also at my feet (I look like the Hulk in it, so I didn't wear it in the shot) I also don't wear it when I'm shooting and paddling...it gets in the way....
5) I have a 30L dry bag for my gear that also rests on the bottom of the kayak and is used when we get caught in a storm and or the waters get rough.
What I'm trying to tell you all is that I do paddle safe, don't break the laws just to get shots and would never, ever drink alcohol and paddle (heck I don't even drink and shoot on dry land, that's a no-no). Only Paul paddles up to random stranger's docks and has a lake bevy. I am cautious, hate waves, got my bronze medallion for swimming years ago.
I did flip my kayak a few years back after a foolish idea for a shot came to my mind below the low level bridge over the Grand River in Paris. continued on my blog at heather cardle.com

We've also got a new wave happening in our scene at @thestudionorth ! They got team auditions and drop-ins too! Come out!
